This hotel was more like a motel - at least we were sent to the annex building and from there it just got more disappointing. I had purposely picked a hotel , I did not want a motel and had asked for a double bed. We got two single beds instead. No room service. The staff were very friendly but I was really happy to check out and leave the disappointment behind.
Its serviceable however if all you want is a room to stay in and don't mind a motel vibe. If you planned a fancy night with your SO , this will not be the motel(hotel) for you.

Good Location Old Hotel”

One of the old hotels in the Itaewon area. Very Close to all the spots in Itaewon. I was disappointing by the house keepers chatting in front of my room especially in the morning and ruining my sleep. Other than that not a very terrible place.

Things to know”

Location is great. Facilities are whatever.
They have centralized AC and heat. This meaning you have no control of temp in room.
If you get a deal like I did on this place, then it's not bad at all. You get what you pay for. I payed ~50 usd per night on a weekend.
Plus side. Staff was great

I was arrived late night and have problem due to error on hotel for my booking confirmation. I booked on Agoda for Famille room but they only get reservation for standard double bed. The staff allowed us to stay one night in a room and asked us to check out and contacted Agoda.
Agoda gave us for gift card for their mistake and the staff allowed us to stay at triple room for free (no extra charge) Thank you staff.
Hotel is not so near to subway station, you need to walk around 10-15 mins. Many variety of halal food for Muslim is nearby the subway station.

Old but good location”

The rooms look outdated already but clean. I would suggest a little upgrade or renovation. I chose to stay here because I had business to attend to in Itaewon, Yongsan and Gangnam. The airport bus stop is just in front of the hotel. The city bus stop is also a few steps away. Although, buses to Seoul are packed during rush hours.

Make the room meet the price !”

I have always been a fan of the Crown Hotel but it seems like your paying more for the location ( Itaewon) than the price. The hotel lobby is really nice with a coffee shop and a couple of ball rooms; but once you get to the room, it has a bit of an old appearance, in need of renovation. To sum it up, let the money you pay reflect the room appearance.

Old room and unpleasant staff”

First of all, I chose this hotel because it was deceived by the advertising from Agoda 76% discount on the structure, I had booked a great hotel (Hamilton) which cost me only a little more money, but given the big discount is the 4 stars Itaewon Crown Hotel, I canceled the reservation at the Hamilton hotel (big mistake).
problems, I'm not a problem person is my first negative review:
1. Metro too far from the hotel, if you have heavy luggage better a taxi.
2. Old and untreated room, a little dirty
3. they did not give me the essential services, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor etc ... just two bottles of water
4. sheets consumed with holes, even if they remade the room every day, have never changed them.
5. even the slippers were old and worn out
6. before leaving, I have written many times to get some information, if they had a gym I have a swimming pool. NEVER ANSWER
7. THE BEST negative thing. I asked to call a taxi and they said "we can only call black cabs, the expensive ones, if you

While the staff were friendly and the location was good...the Wifi was spotty at best this was very inconvenient for international travelers. We would definitely stay again if they fix the WIFI

Second visit”

My second visit to this hotel and although the room was a little older than the previous, it was clean and met my needs. My only complaint was I could not control the temperature in the room. It never felt too hot or too cold, but I would have like to be able to drop the temperature lower because that is how I typically sleep at home. The room was clean, had a little odor(didn't smell bad) to it, but the hotel is old, and you can expect that. Because of the proximity to the airport bus stop, subway station, local eateries and nightlife entertainment, this is my hotel of choice. It was also quiet at night, minus my room because of my room guest....sorry If you have the chance to stay here, I recommend it. I hope your stay was as pleasant as mine. See you all in a couple of months again!

I've stayed at a lot of hotels and very few of them are all round great hotels. There's usually something wrong, either unfriendly staff, or way too expensive for an old unclean room. I stayed at this hotel for 3 nightsand it was one of the best services I've received. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. They promptly changed my room when requested. When I couldn't find a taxi, a staff member walked me out and waited until I had gotten a taxi. This Hotel has great value for money. I would definitely go back and highly recommend this to anyone else.

Quiet and Relaxing Older Hotel in Itaewon”

It's so hard to find a taxi out of Itaewon on the weekend. So, when staying in Seoul, I've tried various hotels in the Itaewon area and this is the best due to the quiet location. It's out of the way from the insane noise of honking taxis and drunk revelers. Even if you happen to be one of the drunk revelers, you still may want to sleep eventually. This is my favorite hotel in Itaewon because it's peaceful and they even upgraded my room. The room was comfortable and I slept extremely well. Don't forget to bring your own toothbrush or you can buy one at the front desk.
Thanks Crown Hotel!

Pro: Price, Location, Staff. Con: Building, Heating, Sound”

You can hear everything happening in the hall as if there isn't a door, except doors do slam sometimes and you can really hear those. The rooms don't have controllable heat, and Korea really likes to get rooms hot in the winter. When I asked for lower heat b/c I couldn't sleep, they told me my only option was to open the window...the window with heavy traffic all night.

10 mins walk to Itaewon area.

All rooms smell cigarettes. It’s NOT a nonsmoking hotel.
This hotel is not worth more than $39 per night. Worse than Motel 6 in the USA.
They would not loan you a power adapter.
Staff is not friendly.

Good Location”

Itaewon has changed so much. It is a very hip town now with loads of interesting shops besides the antiques.
Loads of newer trendier shops for food, clothes, etc. If you know the short cut, it's very convenient.
Front Desk were friendly enough.
They even accommodated my Golden Retriever in the room.
Room size not too big but adequate for 1 or 2 paxs.
